Constructor Detail

NumberDistance

public NumberDistance()

Constructs a new NumberDistance object that represents the value argument.

Method Detail

fromDouble

public abstract D fromDouble(double val)

Build a new instance from a double value.

Parameters:

val - Value

Returns:

Distance

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns the hash code for this NumberDistance, which is the hash code of its value.

Specified by:

hashCode in class AbstractDistance<D extends NumberDistance<D,N>>

Returns:

the hash code of the value

compareTo

public int compareTo(D other)

Compares this NumberDistance with the given NumberDistance wrt the represented value.

d1.compareTo(d2) is the same as Double.compare(d1.value.doubleValue(), d2.value.doubleValue()). Subclasses may need to overwrite this method if necessary.

Parameters:

other - Other object

Returns:

a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as the value of this NumberDistance is less than, equal to, or greater than the value of the specified NumberDistance.

toString

public final String toString()

Returns a string representation of this NumberDistance.

Specified by:

toString in interface Distance<D extends NumberDistance<D,N>>

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

the value of this NumberDistance.

getValue

public abstract N getValue()

Returns the value of this NumberDistance.

Returns:

the value of this NumberDistance

setValue

abstract void setValue(N value)

Sets the value of this NumberDistance.

Parameters:

value - the value to be set

doubleValue

public abstract double doubleValue()

Get the value as double.

Returns:

same result as getValue().doubleValue() but may be more efficient.

floatValue

public float floatValue()

Get the value as float.

Returns:

same result as getValue().floatValue() but may be more efficient.

intValue

public int intValue()

Get the value as int.

Returns:

same result as getValue().intValue() but may be more efficient.

longValue

public abstract long longValue()

Get the value as long.

Returns:

same result as getValue().longValue() but may be more efficient.

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Get the value as short.

Returns:

same result as getValue().shortValue() but may be more efficient.

byteValue

public byte byteValue()

Get the value as byte.

Returns:

same result as getValue().byteValue() but may be more efficient.
